Product details
Overview
LT1676IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a wide-input, current-mode synchronous step-down switching regulator IC designed for high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in automotive and telecom systems. It operates from 7.4V to 60V input, delivers up to 700mA peak switch current, features fixed 100kHz switching frequency with 250kHz synchronization capability, and maintains stable regulation under light-load conditions without pulse skipping - enabling use in IEEE 1394 and cellular battery charger accessories.
For engineers reviewing the LT1676IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1676IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1676IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1676IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its true current-mode control architecture, adaptive dV/dt switch drive, 1.24V reference accuracy, shutdown quiescent current of 30µA, and SO-8 package thermal resistance of 110°C/W - all critical for high-voltage industrial power supply design.
Technical Context
The LT1676IS8#TRPBF implements true current-mode control using an internal transconductance error amplifier (400–1000 µmho) and a dedicated current comparator referenced to the VC pin voltage. Its dual-dV/dt output switch architecture dynamically adjusts slew rate based on load: high dV/dt mode (1.6 V/ns) engages above 1.35V VC for efficiency at medium-to-heavy loads; low dV/dt mode (0.2 V/ns) activates below threshold to improve light-load controllability and eliminate pulse skipping.
It integrates oscillator, bias regulation, and protection circuitry in a monolithic die. The VCC pin powers internal control logic from the output rail (not VIN), reducing input supply current draw; shutdown is controlled via SHDN pin with 0.2–0.8V threshold and lockout hysteresis (1.245V/1.260V); SYNC pin accepts 130–250kHz external clocks with 1.5–2.2V amplitude requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 7.4V to 60V - supports direct connection to 48V telecom rails and automotive battery systems with cold-crank tolerance. |
| Switch Current Limit | 0.55A to 0.70A (typical 0.7A) - sets maximum deliverable output current before cycle-by-cycle current limiting engages. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.240V ±15mV - defines feedback setpoint accuracy; enables precise 3.3V, 5V, or custom output regulation via resistor divider. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz (±10kHz) - balances EMI performance and magnetics size; synchronizable to 130–250kHz for noise avoidance. |
| Shutdown Current | 30µA (typical) - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed systems such as cellular accessory chargers. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 110°C/W (SO-8 package) - determines maximum power dissipation before junction temperature exceeds 125°C under PCB copper constraints. |
| Feedback Bias Current | 600–1500nA - limits minimum FB divider impedance to ≤10kΩ for reliable short-circuit protection and reference accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
LT1676IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-pin plastic SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint, rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature and 110°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Shutdown control input | Pulled below 0.3V to enter 30µA shutdown; hysteresis between 1.245V (off) and 1.260V (on) enables user-defined UVLO extension above 6.7V. |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Internal bias supply input | Connected to regulated output to reduce VIN current draw; powers control circuitry after startup, improving overall efficiency. |
| VSW (Pin 3) | Switch emitter node | High-dV/dt switching node (up to 10V/ns); requires short traces and ground plane isolation to minimize EMI and coupling into FB/VC pins. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and power ground reference | Reference for feedback amplifier and internal reference; must be star-connected near FB divider to avoid ground bounce errors. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Main high-voltage input supply | Accepts 7.4–60V; supplies output switch and startup bias; requires low-ESR, high-ripple-current input capacitor. |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | External clock synchronization input | Logic-compatible input accepting 130–250kHz signals; automatically disabled during FB-induced oscillator slowdown for short-circuit safety. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.24V internal reference; low voltage triggers oscillator slowdown for short-circuit protection. |
| VC (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output / current comparator input | Loop compensation node; connects to RC network for stability; clamped at ~2V to limit peak switch current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive dV/dt switch drive | Automatically selects high-slew (1.6 V/ns) or low-slew (0.2 V/ns) mode based on VC voltage - preserves efficiency at full load while ensuring stable regulation down to zero load. |
| True current-mode control | Uses VC pin voltage to directly set peak switch current per cycle - provides inherent line and load transient rejection plus cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection. |
| VCC-powered bias regulation | Draws control power from output rail instead of VIN after startup - reduces input quiescent current by >90% compared to VIN-powered controllers at high input voltages. |
| FB-triggered oscillator slowdown | Reduces switching frequency linearly from 100kHz to ~25kHz when FB falls below 0.83×VREF - maintains control during short-circuit without requiring external circuitry. |
| Integrated UVLO with programmable lockout | Combines internal 6.7V UVLO with SHDN pin hysteresis - allows designer to raise effective input undervoltage threshold using external resistor divider. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1676IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1676IS8#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 60V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation from 7.4V to 60V. This allows direct interfacing with 48V telecom systems and automotive battery rails including load-dump transients. Exceeding 60V risks permanent damage to the internal switch and control circuitry, regardless of duration.
Does the LT1676IS8#TRPBF require an external freewheeling diode?
Yes, the LT1676IS8#TRPBF requires an external Schottky diode connected between VSW and GND. It does not integrate a synchronous rectifier. A Schottky diode such as MBR160 (60V, 1A) is recommended to minimize forward voltage drop and eliminate reverse recovery losses - critical for achieving >90% efficiency at 48V-to-5V conversion.
How does the LT1676IS8#TRPBF handle short-circuit conditions?
The LT1676IS8#TRPBF handles short-circuits via two coordinated mechanisms: first, its current-mode control limits peak switch current to ~700mA; second, when FB voltage drops below ~0.83×VREF, the oscillator frequency slows linearly from 100kHz to ~25kHz - increasing minimum off-time to maintain control and prevent current runaway. This dual protection requires no external components.
Can the LT1676IS8#TRPBF operate with zero output load?
Yes, the LT1676IS8#TRPBF can operate stably with zero external load due to its adaptive dV/dt switch drive. When VC falls below 1.35V, it enters low-dV/dt mode, relaxing minimum on-time requirements and eliminating pulse skipping behavior. The device's own VCC bias current (~4mA) provides sufficient internal load to sustain regulation without instability.
What is the purpose of the VCC pin on the LT1676IS8#TRPBF?
The VCC pin on the LT1676IS8#TRPBF powers the internal control circuitry from the regulated output rail rather than VIN. This reduces total input supply current - especially critical at high VIN - improving overall efficiency. During startup, the part draws bias from VIN until VOUT reaches ~2.9V, then seamlessly transitions to VCC powering. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor is recommended if VOUT is >1 inch from VCC.
